P5 Filming Locations IDEA 1

Here is all the locations we would be filming on for our "Look To The Future" idea.

Whitby Town Centre:

Since this is a public area we don't need to get permission from anyone in order to film here. There should be no legal issues around filming here. Whitby town is easy to access by bus or car so we will be able to get there. It is also convenient because it is a very big place so we will be able to find places within the town where we can avoid busy streets filled with people.

Pannet park Playground, Whitby:

This is also a public area so again there is no need for us to gain permission to film here. However we will have to be careful that if there are children playing in the park, that they are not in the background of any of our videos. If they are then we can either re-do the shot or speak to the child's parents and ask for permission to still use the clips. The playground is near the centre of Whitby and is easy to access by car. There is a car park right next to it so we would not have to carry equipment very far. However if we got the bus it would be about a twenty minuet walk up a hill carrying all of our equipment there.

White Point Road, Whitby:

White point road is also a public area so again no permission is needed to film here. Legal issues could arise if when cars drive past in the shot, we could get their number plates in the shot which people may not be happy with. To solve this we could have the camera's focus on the actors so hopefully the background will be blurred out enough so you can't actually read the number plates. Alternatively we could use quick shots and cropping to make sure that the shot never focuses on a car long enough for someone to read the plates. It's very accessible by car or bus so it would not be hard to get there with the equipment.

Guisbrough Library:

You do need permission to film in Guisbrough Library so we went to the Library and asked them about it. They agreed we could film there and they signed a form for us to confirm that. It is very accessible since it's not too far to walk from the college so we wouldn't have to carry the equipment far.

Saint Nicholas Church, Guisbrough:

When we film at the church, we will just be filming a scene outside of it with the church building in the background. Because of this we may not need permission since we are on public property. However we will visit the church and ask them about it just to make sure we can legally film it. The church is also very convenient and accessible because it is right next door to the college.
